Case study

MyWhoosh

The project

A virtual platform, still in closed beta, that runs regular live events with prize money.

Our contribution

We teamed up with 50% of MyWhoosh’s staff to augment this virtual platform, and ported the project to Unreal server (from Photon).

FBOMB

Frag Basic Online Microservice Backend — our Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) for Unity and Unreal multiplayer games, built after years of hitting the walls of black-box services.

FBOMB is a Backend-as-a-Service, similar to PlayFab and GameSparks. We’ve worked with several such services on client products, and though their ease of use for quickly deploying server backends was admirable, whenever you needed custom server-side code they always gated development because of their black-box nature.

100k+users with minimal horizontal scaling
200+CCU per Medium AWS instance
2engine SDKs: Unity & Unreal

Technology stack

FBOMB was initially built for pseudo real-time games that scale to 100k+ users with minimal horizontal scaling. The stack was chosen with exactly that in mind.

Java 8

Akka

An actor system that can process millions of requests in parallel with minimal overhead.

Database

MongoDB

The NoSQL database of choice: highly available data with minimal consistency issues, ideal for modern games.

Messaging

RabbitMQ

Our message queue: a modular message bus that’s easy to extend.

Networking

Netty

Games connect through our RESTful API or persistent socket connections, both served by this WebSockets framework.

Performance & auto-scaling

Using stress-testing frameworks, we’ve tested systems built on FBOMB to scale to 200+ CCU per Medium AWS instance — on par with solutions from top-tier game companies. Services can also be configured to auto-scale on demand, maximising availability.

Service customization

Bespoke development is part of our regular business model and sits at the heart of FBOMB: we modify the services for your use case, enabling huge cost optimisations — no source code licence required. Customization work is billed at discounted rack rates, currently $30 / hour.

Features & pricing

FBOMB’s feature set is split into two pools, Base and Pro. All licences are perpetual and per product.

  • Each licence allows a single production use
  • 3 months of Bronze support with every licence purchase
  • Free updates for 1 year after purchase

Support tiers

Basic troubleshooting and consulting are free after licence purchase. Any successful game needs a dedicated DevOps team, so we offer a support resource at three levels.

Bronze
Free / month

No SLA, 24-hour turnaround, partial allocation.

Silver
$800 / month

90% uptime, 8-hour turnaround, part-time resource.

Gold · recommended
$2,400 / month

98% uptime, 30-minute turnaround, full-time resource.

We charge for a single resource, but a larger support team stands behind it so there’s always coverage when you need it. Support resources are DevOps engineers who monitor your game’s performance to solve problems before they happen.
